Is there anything that can be done to try to get this fixed in the impending 1.2 release? PAF5's help function was non-functional on 1.0 due to a similar regression. Now, it looks like 1.2 will also be non-functional.
I wonder how many years it will be until 1.4, and whether 1.4 might not also have a similar regression.
I am been working with a new intern here to debug this issue and try to find what is going on.
It is becoming clear that the issue is pretty deeply connected with wine's urlmon and the fix is going to require overhauling how urlmon does CreateURLMoniker or how the resulting moniker handles the IInternetProtocolRoot::Start method.
I doubt a proper fix will be even an option for 1.2. There are a few places that a hack could be put in to correct the behavior but i doubt even more that that would make it into 1.2
